Power Saturday at the Refuge of Hope
Power Saturday on December 6th, is a great opportunity to serve the community in Jesus Name. We will be traveling to Refuge of Hope in downtown Canton and we are asking the Mighty Men, Women of Influence, Thrive groups and the entire RiverTree community to make this a priority! Your prayers will make a difference in the lives of people who are living on the streets this winter, who are hungry, without jobs and have no one to pray for them - except YOU. It may take you out of your comfort zone to get out of your bed, leave the shelter of your home and travel downtown, but it will also help you relate to the challenges that people 'God loves' face every day.
If you have extra blankets, scarves, hats, gloves and can goods please bring those donations with you. Join us as we pray for Refuge of Hope, for the people in your own life who need to know God and for God to use us to make a difference in the lives of others this Christmas!
